A division bench of Punjab and Haryana High Court gave alimony to abuser, without any basis!!!
From last page of judgment, (total absence of any basis/reason)
XXX Vs YYY on 11 Oct 2022 RedactedBefore parting, even though the parties have lived together in matrimonial home only for nine months, and even though there is no child from their wedlock, and even though during this litigation admittedly the appellant has already paid Rs. 23 lacs to the respondent as maintenance yet, we deem it fit to grant her permanent alimony of a sum of Rs. 18,00,000/- (Rupees eighteen lacs only) as full and final settlement.
Note: Redacted the names of parties in the judgment and the title and tag of this page to mask the names of parties, upon the request of wife on 2024/04/13.
